Westlake service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles lighting installation for homes and businesses in Westlake, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
Trucks dispatch out of 803 W Bayou Pines Dr, Ste D, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Most days a crew is already inside Calcasieu Parish on another job, so the drive is short. For after-hours calls we roll one out from the shop.
Lighting work in Westlake covers indoor fixtures and retrofits plus the rural-specific work the perimeter cities ask for most often: driveway and pole lights on bigger lots, soffit lighting on the main house and outbuildings, photocell and motion control on exterior security lighting, and landscape lighting on country properties. We also do standard interior work: recessed retrofit cans, chandeliers and pendants, shop lights in detached structures, and exterior coach lights at front and back entries.
For pole lights and yard lighting we set a properly grounded base, run PVC underground, and use weather-rated fixtures with photocell or motion control as requested. For recessed retrofits we use IC-rated, airtight fixtures per NEC 410 in insulated ceilings, match dimmer to driver, and confirm the lighting circuit is not also feeding general-purpose receptacles. Heavy chandeliers and pendants get verified against the listed weight rating of the box and the support method per NEC 314. Shop lighting in detached structures gets sized to the bay layout (linear LED strips on switched zones is the common approach).
We work mornings and afternoons in occupied Westlake homes and clean up before we leave. For larger lighting jobs (whole-home recessed retrofit, full landscape package, multi-pole driveway lighting) we walk the layout with the homeowner before we order materials so the final look matches what you actually wanted.

Electrical permits in Westlake are issued by City of Westlake Permits at the municipal building. We pull the permit before work starts and coordinate the inspection so the project closes out clean. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every install. If our work fails because of how we put it in, we come back and fix it at no charge. Documented in writing at handoff and stays with the home.
Here is the no-spin cut on lighting installation. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.

Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
They added my 50amp generator receptacle box outside my house, they also added an interlock and the generator breaker. I also had them add a 2nd 50amp receptacle, just below my panel, for a future vehicle lift and had them drop a CAT6 behind my tv, so I can play Xbox online without lagging. I would hire them again without thinking twice. They're extremely professional and reasonably priced.
Hayden and Mackenize did an outstanding job. Gave my wife and I step by step instructions on how to operate the generator as well as went over labeling of our breaker box. Guys were very knowledgeable and patience when we ask questions. I highly recommend Hayes Electrical for any electrical work..
A group of men and woman that are talented and focused. All licensed. Their customer service is excellent. They were able to upgrade my electrical system for a house built in the 1970s. We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old fluorescence left in the ceiling. When we asked for options, they gave us multiple options from which we discussed pros and cons of each. Lastly, they are honest, trustworthy, and reliable.
Yes. We set a properly grounded base, run a feed in PVC underground, and install a weather-rated fixture with photocell, motion, or switched control. We size the conductor and breaker to the run length and the fixture load.
Yes. Most Westlake homes are good candidates, especially in kitchens and living spaces. In insulated ceilings we use IC-rated airtight fixtures per NEC 410 and we confirm the existing circuit can support the added load.
Almost always a mismatch between the dimmer and the LED driver. LEDs need a dimmer rated for low-wattage LED loads, and the lamp brand matters. We match the dimmer to the load and verify the curve across the full dimming range.
